Elza - by Zeca Camargo

Elza Soares tells her story to Zeca Camargo in a definitive biography Elza is the long-awaited official and definitive biography of one of the greatest singers of all time and a Brazilian cultural icon. Zeca Camargo tells the story of Elza Soares, from poor childhood to success, enshrined in albums that marked Brazilian music and, more recently, in the acclaimed and award-winning The Woman at the End of the World and God is a Woman. In Zeca’s words: “This is the final, definitive version, told by her. Prepared by me, but the raw material is Elza's memory – and that is very, very fascinating. It’s like a dive into this wonderful life and this incredible trajectory.” With content coordination by Juliano Almeida and Pedro Loureiro, the book was built based on a lot of research by the author and throughout dozens and dozens of meetings between Elza and Zeca in the author's apartment, in Rio de Janeiro. There were moments of delightful conversations and fantastic interaction, transposed into a book in an agile and revealing text that works like a walk through the memories of one of our greatest artists.
